Yes it can operate DCC equipped turnouts. I have one crossover that is DCC and all the rest operated off of an old power pack. I prefer operating the turnouts through the power pack than DCC. TOO many buttons to remember.

No. Read the manuals. The manuals are in this Bachmann site.

For Two Locos running on a (4x8) two mainline with four turnouts conecting them at two points is the dynamis really better then the ez command or would you recommend getting the dynamis now because in years to come im surely thinking on expanding

Forget the last ? haha
I Would Like to Know Can you program cv`s with the ez command

RRfun-

No, the EZ Command does not program CVs, other than cab number (sort of) and which end is the front. Throw in the low power of the EZCom and it becomes hard to recommend, especially for someone who plans to expand.

The Dynamis is worth looking at, together with intro systems from other manufacturers. Do note that, while decoders and most boosters are interchangable, your throttles must be from the same manufacturer as your command station.

I think that the EZ Command and MRC DCC systems are the only ones which operate DC locos. I'll be corrected if I'm mistaken about
that. This isn't necessarily a huge advantage, however, as you need to be very careful when running DC equipment on DCC or you'll fry it.

Through video or maybe even reading.

The manual is right here on this website and is your best place to start.

Also, Bachmann UK has a 4 or 5 part video on YouTube, starting with this one:

I can't imagine you would need anything beyond those two resources.
